Divisions

Our sport deals with females (individuals) who have vastly different genetic makeup, competition ambition and potential for muscular development. Hence the sport offers a range of divisions as our diagram illustrates. Although genetics and goal setting will determine ultimately what division a female competitor wants - you can imagine with more training and dieting, over time, a competitor could develop along this ‘sliding scale’ of division objectives.

ICN DIVISIONS

ICN Australia has several Major Divisions, which in turn may be broken down into several classes. This page is a general overview, for a far more in depth description click on the division of your choice below or on the main menu on the left hand side of this page. Please note that division names and guidelines may differ in countries outside Australia. Promoters in their soul discretion select which divisions and sub-divisions they schedule for their respective events.

First Timer means you have never competed before in any federation. First Timer means this is your first contest. You can enter multiple First Timer divisions in your first contest. Note: First Timer does not mean this is your first time in the division – so do not enter a First Timer division if you have competed previously.

Novice

Novice is your first year of competing in a specific division. This means enter your first contest between January 1 and June 30 your Novice status continues until December 31. (Novice for Season A and B). Enter your first contest between July 1 and December 31 your Novice status continues until June 30 the following year. (Novice for Season B and A).

Momma

You must have had children, we may split the division by time since birth of last child, as in less than 2 years, 2-5 year's, 5+ year's at the discretion of the promoter.

Teenage

Teenage is 19 and under on January 1st. Check entry form.

Junior

Junior is 21 and under on January 1st. Check entry form.

Masters

There are many Master divisions a promoter may offer, 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+, 70+ and even 80+. Master divisions take your age on the day of contest. Check entry form.

Intermediate

Entry is eligible only to competitors who have not ever placed Top 3 in the Open Class of the division they are entering (and also not placed Top 3 in Intermediate in the past). Not everyone is ready to do an Open Division especially after just doing Novice, So this a good stepping stone. Intermediate is not divided into Height Classes. To enter a Height Class in your division you will still have to enter the Open.

Open

Open is the highest level of any particular Division where the best of the best is determined.
